My Alpha Mate

I gaped at him. My mouth hanging open at what he just said. 'The Alpha of the most powerful pack in the world is his brother?'

"W-what?" I stuttered, feeling too shocked to form a coherent sentence.

Xander just gave me a big grin and pulled me into his arms, startling me slightly.

"Lucas is coming to our pack in two days to start planning for the upcoming war. He has the most powerful pack in the world, so I don't think we will be needing Cameron's help anytime soon," he said, the smile he had on fading and his face turning bitter at the mention of Cameron.

I looked at him, my eyes still wide. He must have noticed my stare and let out a chuckle. He pushed me away gently and looked at me with soft eyes.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" he asked, panicking and searching my face with his eyes.

I shook my head and looked at my hands. I felt Xander put his fingers under my chin and made me look at him.

"Hey, is something wrong? You know you can always tell me if something's bothering you. We're mates, and it's my job to comfort you if you're feeling anything but happiness. Now, tell me." he said gently. I looked at him in the eyes and saw the honesty and an unknown emotion in it. I shook my head and hugged him, taking him by slight surprise.

"No, nothing's wrong, don't worry about it," I told him, putting my head on his shoulder and wrapping my arms around his back. I felt him hug me back, and bury his face in my hair, inhaling my scent.

"Come on, let's go downstairs and have some breakfast," he said before putting his hands under my thighs making me blush, and lifting me off the bed with him still wrapped around in my arms.

I felt him walking down the stairs before he put me down gently on the counter in the kitchen. I saw him walking around in the kitchen getting some ingredients. I hopped off the counter and went to his side.

"Let me cook breakfast for us," I told him, trying to get the spatula out of his hold, but he lifted it high in the air, making it impossible for me to reach. He looked at me with a smug smile and pointed at the counter.

"I'll cook breakfast for us. Now, go back to the counter and wait for breakfast," he ordered playfully with a smile on his face. I looked at the spatula in his hand one more time before nodding and walking back to the counter. I grabbed a small stool and hopped on the counter, watching him work in the kitchen.

He looked like a master chef. He has a concentrated look on his face. His eyebrows furrowed, a small frown on his lips, and determination clear as daylight in his eyes. His normally expressionless face is gone, replaced with that small frown and determination. He's nothing like the Alpha I've seen when we're around his pack members. When we're alone, he looks happy and carefree, but when we're around his pack members or other people, his face is expressionless, void of any emotions. I like it better when he's like this.

A plate of bacon and fried eggs were set in front of me, breaking my train of thought. I looked at the food and immediately felt my mouth water, my stomach growling loudly, making me blush. I heard Xander chuckle and I can only imagine him shaking his head, but I ignored him and dug into the plate of heaven.

My eating habits have improved ever since I got here. Xander made sure that I eat at least three meals a day. Back in my old pack, I would only get the leftovers from the pack members. If I'm lucky I would get half of the food, but that rarely ever happened. I couldn't really ask for any more food because they would beat me up if I did, so I had to force myself to be satisfied with whatever amount of food they give me.
